We are wanting to put a sprinkler system in our back pasture which is 5 acres. We grow coastal hay and we have had no rain whatsoever for weeks. My husband wants to run PVC pipe underground and make the spigot come up near the tree in the middle of our pasture. We could then attach 100-200 feet of hoses and attach a water gun at the end and just move the hoses around. We have full city water pressure of 165 ft psi so these pathetic water guns and sprinklers at tractor supply and Home Depot simply will not do But my husband seems to think these agricultural sprinklers exist for cheap, but I’ve only seen them for $200 and up and even that’s only 120ft diameter.
Is this a dumb idea?
We also have a water well but don’t think it has enough water pressure and I don’t want to run it dry.
